Wondering if any of you had problems with pinched nerves after surgery- my left outer thigh was numb immediately after surgery and now has shooting pain and burning sensation at night. Wakes me up a lot. Anyone experience something like this and did it resolve? Surgeons office is not too interested - they said to use ice or heat and see my family doc about it. Surgeon's PA's say it usually resolves in a few months. But I need better sleep! Thanks for any insight.
Sorry about the nerve issues. Agree- surgical teams are pretty distant from anything not super specific to the operation... I did find my recliner added to discomfort in lower back - maybe try different pillow arrangements, and tweak the legs in the recliner. I found that two ottomans in succession with pillows is really comfortable for me this week.
Good luck !
